Chapter 464 The Cost of Growth



When the geniuses on Half Moon Island heard this, they all headed towards the north.

At this time, Chen Yan and Chi Yue also rushed to the coast.

When everyone on the island is heading in the same direction, they will meet on the road.

Chen Yan and Chi Yue met Ying Qi again.

The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now looks haggard, as if an extremely heavy burden is pressing on his shoulders, making his steps heavy and giving people a decadent feeling.

Ying Qi also saw them.

He pursed his lips, walked towards the two of them, and called out, "Chen Yan."

"Senior Brother Ying." Chen Yan's expression was indifferent and his tone was distant.

At this time, Chi Yue was wrapped in vines, following Chen Yan while sleeping.

Ying Qi lowered his eyes and stared at her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Thank you for speaking up to protect me."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.

Just as she was about to walk around him and move forward, Ying Qi suddenly reached out and held her arm.

Chen Yan's eyes turned cold.

"Brother Ying, you've overstepped your bounds."

Chi Yue slowly opened his eyes, his dark brown pupils tinged with a hint of coldness, as if he would attack Ying Qi with just one word from Chen Yan.

Ying Qi didn't let go, but looked at her seriously: "Chen Yan, I really want to know, why did you look at me with murderous intent before the Forbidden Ruins?"

Chen Yan asked back: "Is this important to you?"

Is it important?

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkening slightly. He sent a voice message to Chen Yan, "Is it because of my grandfather?"

Seeing that he had guessed it, Chen Yan felt that there was nothing to hide. However, she wanted to test whether Ying Qi was involved in the "Shen Huai's disappearance", so she sneered: "You don't know?"

Ying Qi's heart sank.

It is true.

What did his grandfather do behind his back?

Ying Qi did not fall into her trap. Instead, he associated her words with the past events and asked the question in his heart, "Was it your father, Shen Tianmen, who tried to kidnap me several times before?"

Although he did not see the man’s face at that time, after seeing Shen Tianmen, he felt that Shen Tianmen and that man’s figure were very similar.

Chen Yan did not deny it.

"yes."

"What did my grandfather do?" Ying Qi met her cold eyes, his throat slightly dry, and he was eager to know the truth.

Chen Yan's face was grim, and she actually raised her foot and stepped closer to him, her aura fully open, and the sense of oppression was very strong, "You really don't know?"

Ying Qi took a half step back and unconsciously loosened his hand that was holding Chen Yan's arm. He was silent for a few seconds and shook his head.

"have no idea."

Chen Yan took in the change in his expression and said coldly, "That's between me, Chen Yan, and Ying Zun. It has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother Ying."

At this point, Ying Qi also guessed that Chen Yan wanted to deal with his grandfather.

After Chen Yan finished speaking, she walked forward, and Chi Yue followed beside her.

After walking for a while, Ying Qi caught up with her and walked beside her, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.

Chen Yan raised her eyes to look at him, only to see him smile helplessly and say, "Chen Yan, our destination is the same, and besides, you are my junior brothers and sisters, so can't I walk with you?"

"Whatever you want." Chen Yan was not so cold-blooded as to tell him to go away.

Chi Yue just glanced at him.

The three of them stayed together in silence.

Chen Yan was indifferent and taciturn, Chi Yue was sleeping while walking, and Ying Qi was full of worries.

When they arrived at the coast, many young talents had already gathered there.

A petite girl rushed out from the crowd.

“Yan Yan!”

The girl's tone was joyful. She rushed over and hugged Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's cold brows relaxed as if ice and snow were melting, and a genuine smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently supported Jiang Xianyue's waist, "Yueyue."

"I've missed you guys so much these days." Jiang Xianyue looked up, a smile blooming on her sweet and lovely face. Then she looked at the boy with the red mole between his eyebrows, stretched out her little fist and bumped the boy's shoulder.

"Chi Yue, you're not sick, are you?"

The boy raised his eyes, looked at her, and shook his head.

"without."

"That's good." Jiang Xianyue's eyes curved into a smile. She was very happy in her heart because she saw Yanyan and Chi Yue.

Chen Yan laughed, "Where's Yu Chu?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xianyue remembered Wen Yuchu's existence, turned around, and pointed in a certain direction, "Over there!"

Chen Yan and Chi Yue looked in the direction she pointed, and as expected, they saw Wen Yuchu in a white robe. He had an outstanding figure and even more so, a very elegant temperament.

Wen Yuchu slowly walked towards this side with a faint smile on his lips.

Elegant and noble.

Jiang Xianyue reached out and tugged at Chen Yan's sleeve, her eyes curved as she said, "During the past few days that I've been with Yu Chu, I've picked up a lot of storage rings, which contain a lot of treasures and valuables."

Ying Qi, who was ignored, suddenly asked, "How do I pick it up?"

Jiang Xianyue then noticed Ying Qi, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared. Like a hedgehog on alert, she quickly raised her spikes, hiding her soft side. Her eyes were full of vigilance and alertness, staring at Ying Qi closely, as if he were a potential threat. However, when she and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, her hostility subsided a little.

"From the dead, of course."

The dead refer to the geniuses who were killed.

Ying Qi looked surprised.

At this time, Wen Yuchu had already walked over. He nodded slightly to Ying Qi and called out politely, "Senior Brother Ying."

"Junior Brother Wen." Ying Qi returned the greeting.

Wen Yuchu raised his eyes to look at Chen Yan, his narrow eyes slightly raised, adding a charming smile, and said: "Captain, we survived, but we were also locked in advance."

Chen Yan responded and asked, "Are you seriously injured?"

"No." Wen Yuchu shook his head. During the few days on Half Moon Island, the geniuses he and Yueyue encountered were not strong enemies, so they were able to deal with them with ease.

Wen Yuchu asked back: "What's your situation?"

"Not bad." Chen Yan said, "We met Pei Su and You Lin along the way, and fought against geniuses from other continents together."

Jiang Xianyue asked curiously, "Have they been targeted in advance?"

“It was locked in advance.”

Jiang Xianyue crossed her arms and snorted, "Huh, I thought Zhuge Youlin hadn't been targeted in advance."

At this time, Chi Yue spoke.

"He scolded me."

Jiang Xianyue heard this and said, "He's just a mean person, like a door without a handle."

"Yeah." Chi Yue nodded in agreement.

The four of them were chatting and laughing, but Ying Qi was unable to join in.

Ying Qi lowered his eyes. He remembered that when he was with his companions, they were also talking and laughing like this, carefree.

He was filled with grief and sadness.

…Is the price of growth constant loss?
